Not even a sparrow, worth only half penny, can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows. - Matthew 10:29-31
God cares about even the smallest creatures that in the world's eyes are worth only a penny or less (in Biblical times). This same God created the expanse of the universe, the highest mountains, and the deepest oceans. He cares for us, watches lovingly over us and cares about us, and I mean all of us.
I get in a mood sometimes, that I like to play God. I like to think that some people are not loveable. I start to judge and make accusations without knowing or caring about the facts. Now as I read this passage that is not being very God like. God knows all and sees all and still loves us. Wow, that is not where I was at that is for sure. If I want to be more like God, it is exactly the opposite. Loving first and always.
Spend time today not in the judger mode as many of us end up but more so in the learning and loving mode.
Lord, thank you for your tender, watchful care. Help me to remember all through the day that you are with me. You know every detail about my life - who I am, what I like, where I go, my feelings towards others, nothing is hidden from you. I rejoice because I have no need to be afraid. Your love for me means more than anything else in this world. May I go about my days with quiet confidence and peace, knowing that I am safe in your hands. Amen
